Guy's Italian Restaurant - Eggplant parmigiana with extra small spaghetti - Italian Near Me - Banning, California

This place smells good but looks pretty outdated. Even their menus are not professional looking and could use some vamping up. The lighting is also poor. I got the pepperoni pizza. Not my favorite in the world. It's very greasy and the dough is floppy. My husband got one of the pasta dishes and a sausage on the side. They ended up switching my husband's sausage for our friend who was eating with us (since my husband got hot and the friend got mild). But there was almost no difference either - if you're going to name something hot, make it actually spicy. Their garlic bread is good and unique. read more

Local Italian spot. They have well known staple Italian dishes such as chicken parmigiana, manicotti, ravioli, spaghetti, and pizza. We ordered the pizza and the linguine bolognese. The pizza bottom was very doughy. It was disappointing, like it wasn't cooked all the way. The linguine bolognese had sausage cooked into it. It tasted pretty good. The service was slow. I did not see a drink menu. There is a bar there, but a drink menu was not offered. I asked what the top dishes were, and the response was "everything is good". Everything was just ok. I would rate 3 stars if my pizza was not undercooked. I probably will not return. read more

Diane and I met friends here to enjoy more fine pizza. She ordered a Medium Pizza of Canadian Bacon, Cashews, and Extra Cheese, but the extra cheese wound up on my Medium Pizza of Peppers, cooked Tomato Slices, Cashews, and Mushrooms. My pizza's crust was perfectly cooked; Diane's a bit burnt in one area. A House Salad with Italian Dressing was simple but good, and included Garlic Bread, superbly baked as usual. Our friends enjoyed Pasta Primavera and Lasagna. Service was responsive and very good. read more

Visiting in the area, and drove by this spot a couple times thinking it was a "closed" business, as in Not in Business." MY girlfriend said, "no," they're open, and we went in to eat. Keeping it brief, had Fettucini Alfredo with shroom and shrimp, and Lasgna. Both were very good. Italian dressing on salad was so so, but not too important. Alfredo sauce had just the right texture and thickness. Sometimes it can be runny. Anyway, I suggest that the exterior be dressed up so that people know it's a great inviting place to visit. Maybe an Italian themed mural on outer wall/s? read more

Good food a little different on the hours of operation but I guess the locals love it. Food is decent for what ya pay, wish the pasta plates HAD meats included for the price. Not an additional add on option but I get it. Just a little pricey imo Staff is friendly! Attentive! And very considerate!! Side note... There was a random time I stopped by too for some garlic bread and was like $4-5 for a little piece of uhmmm whatever that was lol. read more

Update 5/24/2025 - Third time at Guy's and food and service is still great as last couple visits. We came for our anniversary dinner, 39 years :-). I had the Chicken Parasan, and my wife had the Shrimp Diablo. Both were very tasty and good portions. Both came with choice of soup or salad and garlic bread. A bit noisy tonight due to a birthday party in the corner table. read more

Guy's used to be good years and years ago. We went back after a couple of years today. Mistake. It has gone so downhill. The last time we were here is was awful as well. We were hoping it got better. Terrible service, much smaller portions, salad barely had a slice of tomato...bread was burned. I could hear the cook in the kitchen yelling. We won't go back anymore. I can't believe it's still open. At least we didn't have the horrible flies this time that they usually do. Sad. Very sad. read more

I wish I could recommend this resteraunt but I can not. They let the staff get away with disrespecting customers. I was told to "Chinga su madre!" by one of the cooks and when I went to make a complaint I was told no one could attest to what was said bc miraculously no one spoke spanish and there was no manager in the building. I will not go there again and I highly encourage everyone to dine elseware. Let your money do the talking and find other dining establishments where you and your patronage will be appreciated. read more

This place is the bomb.com. We ordered pizza and its hands down the best pizza in all of Banning. On the outside, the building is plain white but the inside is anything but plain! It's cute, cozy and delicious. We will be back! read more

Fast and friendly service. We ordered the pizza. It was delicious. They also have a full bar. It has that family owned restaurant atmosphere. Makes you want to stay awhile. We will definitely be back! read more

It doesn't look good, but the food is amazing. It tastes a lot better. The person looks old and rundown, but so am I and we're both still good. The food is surprisingly good you gotta try it and it's reasonable. Enjoy your life. Enjoy your dinner. read more

It's ok. The food is not bad but could improve as well as the service. The ambiance is ok.

We have never had a bad meal from Guys. The service is good, ambiance is like the show Cheers where everyone knows your name. By far the best food in the area. read more

Hubby and I have driven past this restaurant numerous times as we're unsure as to whether or not they were open. Since hubby's job chose this restaurant to have a holiday party, this provided the perfect chance to see what vegan friendly food was available at the restaurant. Although I had planned to see what food options they had available, since the restaurant had no website or update menu photos on Yelp, I was interested to see what meat free food options they have to offer. Upon entering the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by restaurant staff and quickly seated. The restaurant area where we were seated was cramped and but staff made the best of the situation, were friendly and attentive. Meat-free menu options were a house salad and a create your own pizza. After seeing the menu choices, I decided to order the house salad with Italian dressing and a small create your own pizza with green olives, black olives, mushrooms, and no cheese. Both the salad and pizza were okay. The salad was a basic salad with olives, lettuce, tomato, and radishes. The pizza was flavorful with the two types of olives but the I couldn't really taste the mushrooms and the sauce looked thin to me. Overall, the food was good but this is not a meal I'd go out of my way to have again. read more

Let me first say, I like this place. However, last night (1/10/2026 @ 6pm) my husband and I went to Guy's, we walk in and we weren't greeted. There was a young blonde girl behind the bar but she said nothing; no hello, no I'll be with you in a minute, nothing. She just continued with what she was doing (cleaning). As I watched her and proceeded to wait, I finally got up and asked who I needed to speak to to get a table and the waitress asked the blonde girl if she could help us. All this time (at least 10 mins) the young blonde girl was the person that was to seat us. This girl cleaned and set 4 tables and never acknowledged us. Finally she says, after being told to help us, I'll be with you in just a minute and proceeds to clean and set another table. To make things worse, when we walked in, there was a father and his young son waiting. I thought they were waiting for an order. Turns out they were waiting to be seated as well. Still waiting to be seated, we decided this was unacceptable and left, we went to Russo's. The father and his son left as well. I told them to go to Russo's. This is UNACCEPTABLE behavior from your employee. We will no longer be eating at Guy's. read more

Old school Italian restaurant. Food was tasty and nice portions. Reasonable price also. Will be returning.

Finally went to Guy's Italian restaurant. Food was good portions were good however the service was horrible. We had one server she took our drink and food order but still had to ask who ordered what. She also didn't clear the salad plates before are entrays came and the table was full of dishes. I also asked for a refill of my ice tea and never got it. So all of this considered her tip wasn't very good. Give better service get a better tip. read more

You better check your receipt to your bank account. We went for dinner on 3/15/2026 the service was terrible so we did not leave the waiter a tip, the charge showed correct amount when we checked bk acct. but the next day it was changed an $15 was added to our bill. This is theft. read more

The food here is delicious. I had the spaghetti with meatballs and my husband had their Lasagna. They were both very good!!!!Their garlic bread and salad were good too. We waited a bit to get seated, but we'll worth the wait!!! read more

The food is always good. We've been going there for over 7 years and the service has been amazing because of our waitress Amanda but today we asked for her like we always do and was told unless we were family or it's her "turn" we get whatever waitress or waiter is next. Needless to say service was not as good. We don't just go there for the food we go there for our favorite waitress and if we can't get her not sure if we'll go back. read more

Food was not good, lighting is even worse. Will not be going back. Strange building with few windows, sat in the back, maybe the experience would be better in the front room. read more

Tried the pizza for the first time. Loved it!! I also love the garlic bread! I usually stick to the 3 way combo w/spicy Italian sausage but decided to switch it up this time. read more

We go often and have always experienced great service and value. We really enjoy the selections of the senior menu.

This place is the place to go for pasta I got a pizza and a salad here it was delicious I would recommend going back.

I have been coming to Guy's since high school, and sadly this is the worst experience I've ever had. I ordered two large pizzas for pickup and was told they would be ready in 25 minutes . I arrived right on time and stood at the bar counter- at least 4 employees walked by without a smile , greeting, or offer to help. I even stepped out to move my car ,came back in, and still without acknowledgment. Customers in the bar area even commented on how unwelcoming the staff seemed, saying no one smiled and that there were a lot of young employees who clearly weren't trained. After 15+ minutes someone finally asked If I needed help . I gave my name . He brought out the pizzas , i mentioned one of them looked burnt. He replied " That's the way we make it." The guests at the bar laughed and said " We miss Ruben." To make matters worse, the crust on both pizzas were rock hard, and couldn't be cut with a pizza cutter or kitchen scissors . $43.00 down the drain. Guy's used to be a friendly, reliable spot. Sadly that's no longer the case . read more

Went there after our sons baseball game. We ordered the special. One large pizza (awesome), that comes with a great salad, spaghetti and meatballs. Big portions that we enjoyed. Lots of leftovers. The only thing we found negative was the seating, you seat a little high than the table which was wobbly. Besides the seating the food is great and service was good. We will be back... SC113.... read more

The reviews were a bit misleading. The pizza was acceptable but we would not order again. The lasagna and garlic bread was better and a good value - I'd go here again if I was craving this and was too lazy to make my own. The restaurant itself was very 80s inside and not that clean. Service was good and the waiter was very nice. read more

Zero Stars...they ignored me and my family. The servers helped everyone after us. They didn't even offer us water. I get better service at Chili's. Never has this happened to me. No way to treat customers. We got up and left. read more

Good Italian food, I ordered the Linguine with clams in white sauce also some chicken parmigiana all delicious . I loved the freshly baked garlic bread. We had a very nice waiter always tending to our needs . My only complaint would be that it doesn't give me the Italian vibe , no Italian music , very little Italian decor and needs better lighting. Sorry I forgot to take pictures of our yummy food . read more

My new favorite place in town, exceptional Customer service fresh and tasty ingredients. Great service Ellie thank you. Amazing ambiance.

" After 1 Year This Place Is Still Great ! " One year ago I did a review on this Restaurant, Guy's Italian Restaurant. My wife and I just went back again and had some Baked Eggplant Parmigiana, and some spaghetti with Bread. Take a look at my photos and I bet your mouth will start watering. We sat at the Bar and had some nice drinks before our meals came to us. You have to come to this Restaurant in Banning, CA to enjoy some great tasting Italian Food ! read more

So I know good Southern Italian food and Guy's is one of the best I have come across in California ever! Originally from NJ, then NYC and now San Diego, and half Italian, I can honestly say that Guy's compares to some of the great Italian restaurants I remember from the East. All the people working there are real nice and pleasant as well. I would recommend any baked pasta dish, but my favorite was Eggplant Parmesan. The Linguini Bolognese was incredible. Its a creamy tomatoe meat sauce and they throw in shrimps as well! The garlic bread is insanely good, and the Italian Wedding Soup was a good choice for a cold night. We loved the food so much, that I ended up getting to go the 2nd night of our two night trip to the area. This time we got a cheese pizza and my kids loved it! It was real good. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back when in the area. read more

Interesting little place. And I do mean little! Food was quality commensurate with the price. Too bad it's in a place not a lot of people are willing to go. Banning is a little sketch. read more

This place is the best Italian restaurant in the area! The one thing I noticed was the meal comes with salad and bread at a good price. The other local Italian restaurants charge extra for the garlic bread and extra sauce. The lasagna is packed with meat, the pizza is more like New York pizza, thin crust and they will drizzle olive oil on it too. It's not a great looking place but it is clean. What a great place, we had Rubin as our waiter, great service! read more

I had the meat lovers pizza which was nothing less than love for meat. The ambiance is a little out dated just like an old Italian restaurant would be. The service was great this little honey hole is only open certain hours so go get yours they get busy real quick. read more

Went to Guy's this evening. No staff, terrible service. I won't be returning! The service has been on a decline the last few times we've been there but today was ridiculous. read more

We're have been to Guy's twice. The first time the older waiter was very pleasant and helpful. The food was ok but not delicious and very disappointing. He was wearing way too much cologne and I must admit it was overwhelming and it "ruined" the ambiance of our meal... Every time he came to the table I had to hold my breath. Why do waiters and waitresses wear that much cologne? It should be not allowed! The second time the service was awful. A female waitress this time. We ordered a Caesar salad and it was absolutely awful. Half of the plate was covered with croutons and cheese served with limp lettuce and an overly saturated very strong dressing. Both times we've been there the meal has been either too much flavor or not enough!! I'm Italian and don't understand why an Italian restaurant can't serve a delicious meal. We ordered a side of meatballs and she delivered it to our table without anything on it. Just these four Gray looking round balls on a plate. We asked for a side of marinara. I don't know what kind of seasoning they use in their meatballs but there was something very oddly flavored like thyme or Rosemary or something very weird! I make meatballs on the regular so I know how they're supposed to taste. However, the worst part of the evening was when a teenage boy started vacuuming around us at 7 pm. We couldn't hear ourselves speaking!! It was so inconsiderate!! read more
